Comrades:

Today, the municipal party committee and the municipal government held such a large-scale and high-standard mobilization meeting to optimize the environment and attract investment, aiming at conscientiously implementing the spirit of the economic work conference of the municipal party committee, further uniting and organizing the people of the whole city to "concentrate on construction and strive for development wholeheartedly", truly taking accelerating development as the top priority of the city's work, innovating the environment as the first factor of accelerating development, and attracting investment and implementing projects as the first priority of economic construction. Put good development ideas into concrete practice, and make the people richer and richer through our fruitful work. Just now, Comrade * * made a very good report on attracting investment and optimizing the environment. It was highly innovative and the requirements were very clear and specific. I hope everyone will earnestly implement it. Below, I would like to make two more comments:

First, the key to the rapid and sound development of the regional economy lies in attracting investment

Last year, the ninth Party Congress of our city and the economic work conference of the municipal party committee held not long ago all had the same theme, that is, "to realize the rapid and sound development of the regional economy", which is both determined by the purpose and forced by the situation; It is not only the expectation of the people, but also the responsibility. Under the new situation of economic globalization and China's accession to the WTO, the key to the rapid and sound development of regional economy is to make full use of the international and domestic markets, optimize the allocation of resources, and promote reform and development through opening up, as pointed out in the report of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. We should look at today from the perspective of tomorrow, look at XX from the perspective of the world, deepen our understanding from the height of the relationship between the rise and fall of XX, attach great importance to the overall situation of regional economic development, and take further opening up and attracting investment as the main theme of economic work and the highlight of accelerating development.

(a) the new force to accelerate development is attracting investment. Underdevelopment and slow development are the biggest reality of XX, and accelerating development is the most urgent desire of the people of the city. To speed up development, we must strengthen the concept of input and output. No input, no output. In the face of the fact that the consumption of our city is very weak and the export share is pitiful, the important driving force for accelerating development is mainly to rely on investment to pull this piece. Judging from the economic growth of our city last year, GDP increased by 9.5%, and its growth rate was mainly driven by investment, with only one investment in fixed assets. Last year, the investment in fixed assets of the whole society and the investment in fixed assets of state-owned units increased by 61.3% and 1.8 times respectively. The GDP growth target set by our city this year is 11.5%. After deducting the natural economic growth rate of 3%, there is still a growth rate of more than 7% to be achieved by investment. According to the standard of investing 1 yuan's money to realize 1 to 1.5 yuan's GDP, our city needs to increase at least 511 million yuan of direct investment this year. To expand investment, it is extremely limited to rely on its own accumulation, and it can even be said that it is difficult to achieve. Attracting investment is the most realistic and reliable choice. "How can the canal be so clear, so as to have flowing water from the source?" We must expand opening to the outside world and increase investment attraction to realize the benign interaction of the regional economy and achieve faster and better development than others. If what is the good intention of this meeting, I think it is to create an atmosphere, establish a mechanism, optimize the environment, and increase investment, so as to create economic hotspots, stimulate work enthusiasm, and set off an entrepreneurial upsurge, so as to truly promote great development with large investment and great growth with large investment.

(2) the main driving force for improving the quality of economic operation lies in attracting investment. Our city is a typical resource-based city, and only coal-related fees account for more than one-third of the city's total fiscal revenue. This resource-dependent composition of fiscal revenue is by no means optimistic and gratifying, but should be worrying and thought-provoking. As long as we carefully examine the growth process of some resource-based cities in China, it is not difficult to find that most of them are born of resources, prospered by resources, and declined by resources. As the saying goes, "success is also Xiao He, and failure is also Xiao He". It is not difficult for us to see that the long-term coarse-scale development of resources has obviously led to the inefficient and slow operation of the regional economy. In addition, we mainly rely on the coal industry, so it can be called high-risk operation. "Stones from other mountains can attack jade". What should we do to change this pattern? The successful experience of others tells us that by opening wider to the outside world, by attracting more investment, and by constantly adjusting the economic structure. We don't need to explore this anymore, we just need to do it in an unpretentious and down-to-earth way. It is necessary to attract investment and introduce high-tech products. Completely change the situation that coarse-grade products and low value-added products "unify the whole country", truly rely on high-tech products to enhance the strength of enterprises and enhance market competitiveness, and truly rely on high-tech products to revitalize large industries and invigorate one side's economy. It is necessary to introduce modern scientific management methods through attracting investment. Efforts will be made to turn the introduced enterprises into schools for cultivating economic management talents, into guides for establishing a modern enterprise system, and into centers for guiding enterprises to "re-create", and strive to promote changes in the business philosophy and management methods of enterprises in the city. It is necessary to introduce advanced and applicable technologies through attracting investment. By cooperating with Nanjing University of Chemical Technology to develop new products, City Chaopai Heavy Calcium Co., Ltd. successfully upgraded the raw calcium carbonate ore of 11 yuan a ton to a product of 11,111 yuan a ton. The magic of science and technology "turning stone into gold" provides a successful example for the transformation of resource-based enterprises in our city. In the process of attracting investment, we must take the introduction of advanced and applicable technologies as a main task, support enterprises to take the road of cooperation and support, actively act as the carrier of technology radiation from scientific research institutes and universities, and act as an external member of product support for large enterprises, and strive to transform and upgrade traditional industries with advanced and applicable technologies to achieve a fundamental change in the mode of economic growth.

(3) the focus of improving people's living standards is to attract investment. Constantly improving people's living standards is an important task of building a well-off society in an all-round way and a concrete embodiment of the party's ruling for the people. At present, due to the "difficulty in selling" agricultural products, it is increasingly difficult for farmers to increase their income. In addition, the low level of quality of enterprise in our city has led to a large number of laid-off workers. This kind of hardship and embarrassment all make us deeply uneasy and anxious. The difficulties of the masses should arouse our party spirit and conscience. We must have the sense of responsibility of "the people are poor and I am ashamed" and "the city is weak and I am ashamed". At present, our city's employment digestion ability is weak, and there are not many ways to increase people's income. To effectively improve people's living standards, we must rely on foreign businessmen, introduce foreign capital, and rely on external forces to grasp the foundation of people's livelihood and fundamentally solve the problems of employment and re-employment. It is necessary to expand employment through attracting investment. It is necessary to attract foreign investment to graft and transform state-owned enterprises, so as to promote the development of enterprises and increase the employment capacity of existing enterprises; Give full play to the advantages of abundant labor resources, vigorously introduce labor-intensive industries, and turn employment burdens into development factors. It is necessary to attract rich farmers by attracting investment. It is necessary to actively introduce foreign businessmen and foreign capital into the agricultural field, vigorously develop the processing industry of agricultural and sideline products, and lengthen the chain of increasing farmers' income; Actively rely on attracting investment, vigorously develop non-agricultural industries and increase farmers' non-agricultural income.

(4) The breakthrough of ×× image promotion lies in attracting investment. Attracting investment can not only accelerate the development of ××, promote economic upgrading, but also transform and enhance the image of ××. Attracting investment can create a vibrant development image. Development is the last word. With strength, there will be charm. Our simplicity of "we would rather build our own curtains than lose face" is lovely, but after all, we can't last long. The biggest and best face of ××× should be "enriching the city and strengthening the country". In this way, people will respect us in their bones, and we will be able to "hold our heads high"! Looking at the present situation of our city, except that urban construction can still lead the way in the province, others are "short of money" and "short of money". Where is the gap between us and developed regions? In the final analysis, it is in the awareness, intensity and environment of attracting investment. To this end, our city should open up a working situation in which development and opening-up complement each other by attracting investment, write magnificent poems of construction and development competing for glory, strive to establish a brand-new image of leap-forward development, and effectively change the backward face of a populous city and a financially poor city. Attracting investment can create a relaxed and open environmental image. "Water accumulates and fish are abundant, while wood is luxuriant and birds gather". The expansion of attracting investment is the best proof of economic environment optimization. Every time a big project is introduced into our city, it can set up a monument for establishing the environmental image; Every time a well-known enterprise is introduced, a signboard can be set up to establish an environmental image; Every time a brand-name product is introduced, an advertisement can be made to establish an environmental image. This is more reliable, effective and convincing than any propaganda. Attracting investment can create a prosperous and civilized image of people. In attracting investment, we should have the tolerance and mind of "let foreign businessmen get rich and promote the development of ××", protect all legal labor income and legal non-labor income, create a strong atmosphere of encouraging foreign businessmen to get rich in ××, and support foreign businessmen to start businesses in ××, and let all labor, knowledge, technology, management and capital activities compete in generate in ×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

second, the key to achieving a greater breakthrough in attracting investment is to optimize the environment

I quoted the dialysis of environmental problems in Lv Chunqiu as early as two or three thousand years ago at the economic work conference of the municipal party committee: "If the nest is destroyed, the phoenix will not arrive; If the beast eats the fetus, the unicorn will not come; If you dry up the fish, the fish will not go. " Under the new situation of joining the WTO, only by optimizing the environment and forming comprehensive advantages can we seize the development opportunities and win the initiative in competition; Especially in the background of the attack between Hengyang and Chenzhou, only by creating a better development environment than them can we build a high-level platform to accelerate development, realize the rapid growth of the regional economy, and truly make XX rise rapidly into a strong economic city. Otherwise, we will only see ourselves shrinking in ridicule and contempt. This is a defilement of the eternal civilization and a crime against millions of people. At this historical juncture, we must strengthen the concept of "government creates environment and society creates wealth", build a better development platform and create a more special "depression" for investment.

(1) to optimize the environment, we must emancipate our minds, change our concepts and establish a firm awareness of attracting investment. The so-called market economy is to allocate resources and production factors by market mechanism. The market is an "invisible hand", and its inherent mechanism of price, competition and supply and demand fundamentally determines the flow of production factors such as capital, information, technology and talents. The purpose of today's mobilization meeting on optimizing the environment for attracting investment boils down to one point, that is, we should follow the trend, act in time, get rid of the shackles of traditional planned economy thinking, establish new concepts that are suitable for the market economy situation, and grasp the basic laws of the market economy, so as to grasp the initiative of the work, enhance the creativity of the work and improve the performance of attracting investment. In addition to some concepts we usually talk about, I think it is necessary to talk about some intuitive understanding of the market economy around the awareness of attracting investment and environmental issues. ① Market economy is policy economy. At present, the regional economic competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and the market economy developed in our inland areas is often led by policies to gain the advantage of backwardness and form the core competitiveness. "Natural selection, survival of the fittest", we should carry forward the indomitable spirit of ××× people, forge ahead courageously, and constantly introduce preferential policies to create environmental advantages and attract customers' attention. We should have strategic thinking in formulating investment promotion policies, truly measure and judge everything according to the "three benefits" standard, and do not seek everything, but seek where it is, not what we manage, but what we get. We should dare to sacrifice small profits for big profits and short-term interests for long-term interests. As long as it can promote the development of XX and realize the interests of the masses, we should encourage experimentation, let go and not argue. As long as the law does not expressly prohibit it, everything can be discussed and any benefits can be allowed, so as to truly "as long as you come to XX, everything will be discussed". ② Market economy is environmental economy. "Those who want to make fish pass water first, and those who want to make birds plant trees first". Under the situation of market economy, market mechanism plays a fundamental role in resource allocation. If the environment is good, it can form a "depression effect" and a "agglomeration effect" to attract factors of production, otherwise it will inevitably lead to serious consequences of "desertification" and "marginalization". Regarding the economic environment of XX, we should look at it from a dialectical perspective. Traffic and location are our advantages, but if the environment is not good, convenient transportation may turn XX into a "water-crossing mound", and superior location may cause XX to have a "central collapse"; At the same time, we should look at it from a comprehensive point of view, pay attention to both hardware and software, innovate the economic environment in an all-round way, tap the traditional advantages of location with new environmental advantages, and promote the breakthrough of attracting investment with great environmental improvement. (3) the market economy is the global economy. Simply put, the market economy has no city boundaries, provincial boundaries or even national boundaries. What we often say now is called "economic globalization", which means this. Market economy requires breaking the boundaries and compartmentalization of all regions, breaking the monopoly of all industries and departments, establishing a unified and open market, and rationally allocating economic factors according to the market mechanism. This feature of the market economy has created the Matthew effect of "the strong will remain strong and the weak will remain weak". This makes our city face two choices, either rising in hard work or losing in competition; Either the factors of production from other places are sucked in, or they are "hollowed out" by other places. The broad masses of cadres must enhance their sense of crisis, consciously adapt to the open characteristics of the market economy, increase the intensity of attracting investment, and truly promote great development through opening up. (4) the market economy is the friend economy. A fundamental difference between humans and animals is that people understand feelings. Practice has proved that emotional investment in Chinese and foreign merchants is a potential investment in the local economy. "and yet, while China holds our friendship, and heaven remains our neighbourhood". With feelings, all obstacles may disappear. If you don't make friends and respect business, it is impossible to make a breakthrough in attracting investment. Make friends, be brave in selling yourself at home, and encourage customers to invest in XX. Even if customers can't invest in XX for the time being, they should always walk around and keep in touch, constantly cultivate their feelings and deepen their understanding. Be kind to friends, "It's a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar", put yourself in the shoes of XX merchants, be warm and considerate without losing your dignity, be proactive without being overbearing, think what they think, solve their difficulties and help them, and truly build deep feelings in helping them develop; Be honest with your friends, do not regret what you promised, do what you promised, be honest with your customers about what you can't do, give them a clear answer, and ask them to live comfortably and work smoothly in XX. Only in this way, XX's friends will spread all over the world, and XX will become the XX of all merchants in the world.

(2) to optimize the environment is to innovate policies, improve the system and establish a complete mechanism for attracting investment. Capital is driven by profit, environment is created by time, and policies are set by business. We should stand on the height of system construction, comprehensively innovate investment promotion policies, improve the incentive mechanism for investment promotion, and strive to promote the expansion of opening up. First, we must conscientiously implement the policy commitment system. Understand the spirit of national macro policies and regulations, make good use of various preferential policies, and resolutely implement the above.
